Well i just bought a nitro vee and which adds to my collection of rc boats. THis is my first hobby class one though. Well my current boat i use for retriving stranded boats it terrible. I was going to mod my nikko tiger so it will be an easy retreval boat for when my sailboat for nitro vee get stranded. It is a deep vee hull design with a sharp bow. It does have reverse. It is full function though. I need a way for it to catch on to the stranded boat. Any ideas? I was thinking making like a flat front so it could push the stranded boat sideways towards shore. But i don't like that idea. Any other idea on how to mkae it catch on? What about line the entire side of the boat with velcrob and putting a few strips of velcro on my other boats so that it can come up right along side and catch it? ANy other ideas? Please im desperate.

I thought of cutting the bow off and resealing it so that the boat would be more like a rectangle.
